Donald Trump is reviewing a round of contestants for the apprentice show.The most important Gods of humankind are competing today.There are the Roman Gods, who gave great conquests to their people.The Greek Gods who gave them great art, and other like the Egyptian Gods who gave them great lasting empires.Then came God's turn.Donald asked the same question he asked them all:So, what have you done for your people?God answered."Well, it's been hard for them, after forty years in the desert,they have encountered centuries of persecution, holocausts and hate.A bit shocked, Trump continues.What about your son?Well, my only one and begotten son, didn't have it too well either. You see, he was very hated since birth, he became persecuted and got crucified.Not giving up, Donald tried asking again.But, did you not give your people a promised land?God answered,"Well, yes, I did, but... it turned out that the land was surrounded by enemies, with no water nor oil."So, you mean to say that, your people got persecuted, your son crucified, and the promised land a dry piece of worthless real estate?Yes, said God, to which Trump replied:Well, you're fired.
